Shooting Suited to Scenes (Scene Mode)

OPet portrait

Use this mode for taking portraits of pets (dogs or cats). When the camera detects the face of a dog or cat, it focuses on the face and automatically releases the shutter (pet portrait auto release) three times at the default setting.

A double border (focus area) is displayed around the

detected face, and it turns green when the focus is acquired.

Up to five faces can be detected. When the camera detects more than one face, the double border is displayed around the largest face, and single borders are displayed around the others.

If the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down when no pet faces are detected, the camera focuses on the subject at the center of the frame.

To change the CContinuous setting used in this mode, tap the bottom tab to display the setting controls.

-Single: The camera captures one image at a time.

-Continuous (default setting): When the pet portrait auto release function is activated and the focus is acquired on the detected face, the camera releases the shutter three times. When the pet portrait auto release function is disabled, about two images can be continuously captured at a rate of up to about 1.2 frames per second while the shutter- release button is held down (when the image mode setting is P4608×3456).

To change the YPet portrait auto release setting, tap the bottom tab to display the setting controls.

-On (default setting): The shutter is automatically released when the focus is acquired on the detected face.

-Off: The shutter is released using the shutter-release button or touch shutter (A47).

Digital zoom is not available.

Flash is disabled.

AF-assist illuminator (A160) does not light up. Shutter sound (A161) is disabled.

Factors such as the distance between the pet and the camera, the orientation or brightness of the face, and the speed at which the pet is moving may prevent the camera from detecting the faces of dogs or cats or may cause it to detect faces other than those of dogs or cats.
